	<h2>Ranch dressing experiment</h2>
	<p>
		The concoction from before wasn&apos;t separating, which was good, but I wasn&apos;t satisfied by the result.
		The batch was too small, so I feared there just wasn&apos;t enough there to separate enough to be visible.
		So a few days ago, I made the batch bigger.
		Sure enough, it had visually separated yesterday.
		I&apos;ve had to use more of this store-bought ranch to extend the batch though, so I&apos;m not sure I&apos;ll have enough to get a definitive result with the lime juice.

	<h2>Drudgery</h2>

		My discussion posts for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			You say that you can&apos;t believe that a universe came from nothing, so it must&apos;ve come from a god.
			But then ... did that god come from nothingness?
			If that&apos;s the case, you still have something from nothing.
			You could say that the god had always existed, but if you say that, you could also say that the universe had always existed.
			A god doesn&apos;t explain something coming from nothing, it just pushes the problem back another step.
		</p>
		<p>
			You also mention physicists saying that something could come from nothing in a vacuum, but it&apos;s worth noting that there&apos;s also a theory that the universe might not be expanding, there was no big bang, and the universe had always existed.
			Under this theory, some spacial distortions are giving us the impression that the universe is expanding when it isn&apos;t, which is why we think the universe came from an initial starting point, the site of the big bang itself.
			I make no judgement here as to whether I believe in the big bang or this always-existing-universe theory, I&apos;m just pointing out that the universe may have always existed just like your god may have.

			You say that the Yahweh (the Christian god) allows evil such as cancer because he wants us to come to him for help.
			Doesn&apos;t that seem ... like he wants artificially force dependence on him?
			If you truly love someone, don&apos;t you want to empower them, not make them needy and cry to you for help?
			It sounds like Yahweh, according to your beliefs, is having some sort of power trip.
			It sounds like Yahweh wants us only so we can make him feel important, not because he actually loves us.
